Ben Carson
“Successful people don't have fewer problems. They have determined that nothing will stop them from going forward.”
Ben Carson, Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story

Ben Carson
“First, we cannot overload the human brain. This divinely created brain has fourteen billion cells. If used to the maximum, this human computer inside our heads could contain all the knowledge of humanity from the beginning of the world to the present and still have room left over. Second, not only can we not overload our brain - we also know that our brain retains everything. I often use saying that "The brain acquires everything that we encounter." The difficulty does not come with the input of information, but getting it out. Sometimes we "file" information randomly of little importance, and it confuses us.”

“If we commit ourselves to reading thus increasing our knowledge, only God limits how far we can go in this world.”
Ben Carson, Think Big: Unleashing Your Potential for Excellence

Ben Carson
“Reading activates and exercises the mind.
Reading forces the mind to discriminate. From the beginning, readers have to recognize letters printed on the page, make them into words, the words into sentences, and the sentences into concepts.
Reading pushes us to use our imagination and makes us more creatively inclined.”
Ben Carson, Think Big: Unleashing Your Potential for Excellence

Ben Carson
“I am convinced that knowledge is power - to overcome the past, to change our own situations, to fight new obstacles, to make better decisions.”
